Pretty Butterfly

My cousin's wedding solemnization was held in Little Bali near Alexandra Road on April 4 2005. This place is actually a bar surrounded with a nice nature environment with lots of florals. It’s a casual setting where guests just have to dress to the “Nature” theme. Before we entered, we were invited to write down our blessings on a book and each given a fan. “Such understanding for us,” I thought. We waited for at least 30 minutes before the wedding couple strolled into an awaiting table at the centre where the Justice of Peace was seated. I continuosly snapped photos of these wedding couple who can’t seem to stop smiling and basking in bliss. We can’t help feeling happy for them. However, I somehow couldn’t believe my cousin would settle down so quickly. Anyway, married at 26 just don’t seem to fit into my life calendar as yet. After ending the solemnization, the newly weds went into the air-conditioned area to serve tea to the immediate family members and left the others to enjoy a complimentary lunch. The whole affair wasn’t as grand and fanciful of the trademark wedding dinners serving shark fins in tow. It’s just a simple ceremony that breaks all clichés, thus lowering all the unnecessary costs. I kind of like the simplicity of the wedding and the tasteful way of holding this ceremony.
